Hi. This is Bethanie, Stacy's childhood friend/Tim's cousin. I am so excited to report that Libby is born! Apparently, contractions started sometime Monday afternoon, I don't know the specifics, but Stacy, with her mother and Tim, went to the hospital around midnight last night.
Stacy was tough til the end and took nothing for the pain!! Liberty Ann was born this morning at 10:23 Texas time (I hope I'm getting this right) and 11:23 New York time. She weighed 7 lbs, 7 oz, and has very dark hair, like her mamma. They are both doing fine, by all accounts, and I know we are all so happy!
Congratulations Stacy and Tim, and proud grandparents Pam & Steve Shenk and Randy & Carol Merkin! Libby has too many proud Aunts and Uncles to mention. :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIBBY!!
~Bethanie in Dallas TX

41 Weeks
Still here! And still pregnant. :)
On Friday I went in for a fetal monitoring test and our little one tested out great! While I had the belt strapped to my belly she moved a ton and it was quite entertaining for us! Mom and Tim were both there with me and that was really nice. The appointment went great although it was the last time I'll see my doctor (hopefully!). She left early the next morning for vacation. Of course I would rather have her deliver Libby but I'm not hung up on having her there. She refers to another doctor who is very like-minded and I'm confident that we'll be well taken care of!
However, if I don't go into labor within the next week she is going to induce on the 5th. So please be praying that this is not necessary.
We still have a few days left until the 31st so that would be ideal! :)
Mom and I are having a great time! It's so fun having her here. We played Scrabble today (and I actually won!!) and went on a brisk walk around the lake. Tomorrow I have another monitoring session and then mom and I have a very busy day planned. Lots of walking. :) Hopefully that will start something.
Well, I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and is looking forward to the New Year! Tim and I had a nice quiet Christmas morning together, it was really nice. Hopefully our last holiday 'alone'!! :)
Happy New Year!!!

40 week appointment
Well, I had my 40 week appointment today and it was pretty anti-climatic. No progress so far, no dilation or effacement. She did say the baby was dropped and low so I could pretty much have her whenever. Some people stay dilated for weeks and some progress really quickly. So who knows!! I'm cool with it and just enjoying my time with Tim and my long, good nights of sleep!! My mom was pretty happy! She hedged her bets on me going late by buying her ticket for 5 days after my due date and it looks like she made the right decision. :) My guess has been the 27th for the last month or so and that would be great! I would really love to have her before the end of the year for tax purposes, we could claim her as a dependent for the whole year! That would be quite helpful! :) But again, I want her to come at the right time! So please pray that my attitude remains good and everything tests out okay.
Oh yah, and I'm going in Friday morning for a fetal monitoring test and again Monday. As long as the baby is fine my doc won't induce until I'm two weeks late.
Anywoo, that's my latest! Merry Christmas!!!

Let it SNOW!!!
Here are the pics from our big snow storm!!
Check out the cat house! Tim made it and it keeps the kitties nice and warm. And I took pictures of the snow piled up on the table outside.
Let me know what you think of the slideshow. Its way easier than uploading all the pics to blogger.

Guesses
So remember this post? A lot of those dates are passed already! Yikes!! Those still in the running are: my mom, Ellen, Todd, Tim, Mindy, Misty (2nd guess), Catherine, and me! Lets see who's right!! (I HOPE it's not Todd!!!)
CONGRATS!!
A big blog shout-out to my bud KACIE!!! She had her little guy on my due date and he looks adorable! I can't wait to hear the whole story!!
40 weeks!
Today I'm technically 40 weeks and 2 days. Woo-hoo. I guess. I don't feel any different! I guess my body is getting used to having a huge belly and stretching bones. Yeah, I've so got the 'waddle' going on!! Not much to report but I have my doc appointment tomorrow so that should be interesting! I'm curious to see if I have any progress to show.
I don't have any pics to share but we did go over to Vincent and Christina's place where I made a snow angel. It was quite comical so I might share it with you. Vincent was determined to get a pic of my belly in the snow, and I wanted to make a snow angel so we captured it on film.
Speaking of snow...we got a ton!! It started Friday morning around 10 and didn't stop until 6 that evening!! Tim got sent home from work after 12 and it still took him 2 hours to get here! He almost didn't make it over the mountain in his little car but just like the engine who could, he did! I'll devote a whole post to snow pics but I left the camera out in the car so I'll have to get that later. This morning when we woke up it was 9 degrees! Unfortunately its supposed to "warm up" on Wednesday so the snow might melt. :( That would be sad because obviously it would be our first White Christmas ever!! (Do you think I could trick Tim into watching that movie with me?)
Today I'm going to clean up a bit and try to get things organized. Amazing how messed up the house gets after the weekend. :( I really do not want to go into labor with a messy house!
Mom is coming up on Thursday evening and I am so excited about that! Please pray that she has a safe and drama-free trip! Thankfully the big snows are over and hopefully things are straightened out before Thursday. She almost came on my due date and I'm afraid that would have been a problem.
Well, I'd better get cracking! The sun is shining on the snow and it looks so pretty!! We brought the kitties inside because it was so cold out and I like having them in, I just don't enjoy their litter box. Blah!
Merry Christmas!!!

39 1/2 weeks!
Well, peeps, we're still here! I'm still huge and Libby is happily squished inside of me. I'm thinking she's going to be a nice sized little baby and that's fine with me! I do wish she would stop kicking my ribs though, I feel like I've been in a UFC fight! (Tim has me hooked, what can I say, they're cute!) ;) Oh and can I just say how excited I am to see Frank Mir and Antonio Nogueira fight on the 27th?! (Mir is going down!!) Did anyone else watch the Ultimate Fighter reality show this season?? Okay, maybe I'm the only one but it's actually quite good! These guys are super talented. Although I don't like the punching fights, I am more of a fan of the jujitsu take downs.
Anyway, back to more important topics... yesterday was my 39 week check-up and everything was good: weight, BP, HR, pee, size, etc... She still hasn't checked my progress yet (for which I am very grateful!) but from feeling around on the outside she said that the babe's head is low and engaged! And I told her about the other night when I had some really strong BH contractions and she said "good!! you might go this weekend!" So whoo-hoo! Of course, since I'm so far along I could, in theory, have her at any time. It was just encouraging to hear that from a professional. :)
Today is Emily's guess for Lib's bday because her second-born, Wick, was born today. And a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my man Wick!! MISS YOU!!!! Don't think it's gonna happen though, bummer!! But maybe this weekend! My doc is going to take off Christmas Eve and Christmas morning so I pray that she doesn't come then! I would so much rather her NOT be born on Christmas. So I need all my prayer warriors praying for that, k? :)
This weekend my sweet Tim helped me get the house entirely clean! Yep, it was so encouraging! He cleaned off his desk area and then followed behind me and mopped the entire house after I swept! (Wood floors and ancient linoleum are not for the faint of heart!) It was so wonderful for him to spend some time helping me out, I was most grateful. So now with my house all sparkling clean I feel a lot more ready to bring a baby home to it. And I started freaking out because I realized people might actually come over and have to trip over the dust bunnies in order to see the baby!! And I think we can keep it clean for EIGHT MORE DAYS which is when MY MOM is coming. Nope, I'm not excited, not in the least. ;) And Vincent, our wonderful landlord, has promised for weeks he's going to fix the fireplace and he's going to do it on Saturday!! Which will be totally fantastic, I'm so excited to have a real fire in the fireplace.
Last Friday my neighbor, Christine, had her baby! Little Natalie was born around 2:45 am after only 3 hours of labor! Christine hardly made it to the hospital on time, I'm sure her husband, Rob, was most grateful. :) Baby Natalie is so sweet and precious and it's been a lot of fun to hold her and feel her little newborn squirms all the while feeling my own babe inside me!! She weighed a little over 8 lbs at birth and was 2 weeks early!
Well, I'd better scoot, I have some thing I need to accomplish today and I have to run an errand this afternoon. Please be praying for us about all the changes in our lives and for the changes that might be occurring. Just pray that the Lord gives us wisdom as we try to decipher his will. Thank you, my friends!!
And I promise to post at least one more belly shot before I pop! On and the time is way off on my blog somehow, I did not post this at 5:30 or whatever, I was happily snoozing away at that time!

The famous photo
Remember this post from a while back? Well, I was going through some old photos and found the one that started it all!!
Front row: Kristin H., Stephen H., Me
Second row: Nathan S., Michael H, Tim S.
Back row: Amy S., Kathleen H., Susanna H.
All the S's are my family (see the dark hair) and the H's are Tim's cousins!
Good times!! Crazy to see how all of these wonderful people have grown up!! I'll have to post a more current pic. Seven years does a lot to change people. :)
This was taken in the H's blue van and according to the date stamped on the back it was snapped on Dec. 30, 2001. It wasn't until the following summer/fall that Tim saw a copy of it on Mimi's fridge. And the rest is history! Our wonderful, wonderful history!! :) I LOVE YOU, TIM!!!!!

Libby's room!
Her crib with cute little pillows and stuffed animals. See the monogrammed pillow Tim's cousin made? So cute!!
Hanging clothes, what a spoiled little girl already!! :)
More clothes!
PJ's and the ring sling (on the L) I bought on etsy.
Bum Genius cloth diapers
New born disposable diapers
Top drawer of changing table with more diapering supplies.
Crib and changing table. Both from the same thrift store but I bought them a couple of months apart. Funny how they match, huh?
Name letters made by Auntie Mindy
Curtains, carseat, and bouncy seat.
Let me know what you think! I looove it!! And I'm so happy I was able to get that rug, I think it really adds a lot to the room. Last thing I want to do at some point is buy a frame for that print and hang it up. Tim's cousins (Kristin and Bethanie) gave that to me at one of our wedding showers! :)

38 1/2 weeks!!
Just a quick update while I take a little break. I just cleaned the kitchen and am now going to make dinner, yah me!
I had my 38 week check-up yesterday and things are looking good! My doc said she's moving down and that she turned anterior! So that is good, we want her to stay that way. :) No major "signs" just general pressure and soreness. Nothing too bad and it's nice to feel a little pain for a purpose. :)
I've started to have trouble sleeping at night. One night I woke up at midnight bright eyed and bushy tailed and didn't fall back asleep until 4! That was not good! But last night I only woke up once and slept like a log until 7:30, it was wonderful. Hopefully I'll have more nights like that one! I think the next time I can't sleep I'll just get up and clean or something to make myself tired. Insomnia is pretty common from what I've heard, just my body preparing for no sleep with an infant. :) I wish it would do the opposite and get all rested up though, that would be way better! (in my humble opinion)
I haven't cleaned the house like I've wanted but I have cooked a lot of meals for the freezer. So far I have some beans, and two types of soup frozen. I also have some chicken breasts and two whole chickens waiting to be cooked. I'll probably cook one of those and freeze the meat and broth for something like chicken and dumplings (one of Tim's fav meals). And I'm planning on making some spaghetti sauce as well. Tim's a big pasta fan. :) As well as one more type of beans. One good thing about preparing to have a baby in winter, soups and other hot foods freeze and are re-heated quite easily!
Libby's room is completely ready! But I have misplaced our camera so I can't take new pics. I found the cutest rug on Target's website and after stalking it for a couple of weeks it went on the "free shipping" list!! I also had an e-credit from them because of a mix-up with a carseat I tried to buy a couple of weeks ago so I combined that with giftcards to buy the rug! I also did an online search and found a code for $7 off my order. :-D I'm turning into quite the deal hunter so I was very proud of myself. Woo-hoo.
We met with a pediatrician today and were quite happy with them. I think we're going to go with this group. They've been there forever and have a great group of doctors, both young and old. Tim and I both left feeling very confident about them.
Anyway, better get back to cooking, I'm making a quiche for supper so I'd better get going on that!

37 weeks!
I don't have any pics for you, just imagine that I look the same only bigger and rounder. Yeah, I feel like a whale and there's no end in sight. Well, I guess there is but I just don't know when it is!
Technically I'm 37 1/2 weeks today but who's counting? Ha. So I had another doc appointment yesterday (every week now!) and everything looks good except one thing. I tested positive for Strep B. Which pretty much means I need to have an IV of antibiotics as soon as I arrive at the hospital. My doctor was really nice about it though and said it shouldn't effect things too much. I won't have to stay attached to the IV and I'll still be able to move around and get in the shower if I want. That made me feel a lot better! As Tim said, we want everything to go perfectly but we need to be prepared and be flexible if things change. She also said that the baby feels a 'little' posterior so I'm hoping she moves into a better position. I'm supposed to just keep sitting on my exercise ball and pray she moves! :) My SIL, Mindy had a posterior baby and it was a rough time for her! And my doc said that of her three kids it was the worst and she wouldn't have been able to survive without an epidural. My plan is to not have one and to rely on other natural relaxation methods. So please pray that she moves into a better position!
No contractions or anything so far. My doc doesn't do 'checks' so I don't know if I'm dilated at all. I'm so glad to not know because its so deceptive. Most everyone I know walked around for the last month at least 1 cm dilated and it didn't cause them to deliver any sooner. She might check me at my 40 week appointment if I haven't gone into labor by then but might not. I really love my doctor and I really appreciate how hands-off she is. She really considers child birth a natural, common practice that has been occurring without doctors and hospitals for thousands of years. I really feel like in ways she's a mid-wife with an MD. Which is great for me! I feel very confident in her opinions and expertise.
I made an appointment for a consultation with a group of pediatricians near us. A nursing mom's group I joined recommended them so I'm very positive about going to them. We have a few things to clear up first so hopefully we'll see eye-to-eye with them. :)
Libby's room is practically all ready and I will post pictures soon! I have one last thing I'm waiting on that I got shipped from Target. My Target giftcards have been a huge life-saver!! Those are really fabulous gifts!! Between Target, the thrift store, and craigslist we've been able to get everything we need (and a few wants too). :)
These last few weeks I'm trying to clean the house (slowly but surely!) and have some meals in the freezer. We have some standard favorites that freeze really well so I know that will come in handy. Tim is a fabulous husband but not gifted in the kitchen! So simplicity is key!
All in all I'm starting to feel ready but not rushed at all. I'm really enjoying resting and hanging out with Tim. It's hard to imagine how much my life is going to change in just a few short weeks so for now I'm just content to enjoy each day. Life will never be the same again!!
